While it’s surprising to see a new addition to your collection, it's not surprising at all that it's a Ford GT (you're the resident expert after all) and it's not surprising that it's a very high-quality model either. When you add so few, better make sure that they're top notch. I'm trying not to get into the GT40s and you're making it hard for me...
I prefer the 1:43, by the way.

If you’re only going to add a few then you’d better make it worthwhile - what a gem, and it’s red.
I still get a chuckle thinking about Dan and A.J. Sharing a car - peas from two very different pods.

Well to be fair, this was ordered a very long time ago. And maybe not the resident expert but one of the resident biggest fans. With people upgrading to Sparks, maybe the market will be flooded with old IXO's? The 1:43 is better buy it cost almost twice as much. As is yours. If you’re only going to add a few then you’d better make it worthwhile - what a gem, and it’s red. I still get a chuckle thinking about Dan and A.J. Sharing a car - peas from two very different pods. This car has a real pull for me and while I usually do not upgrade, I had no say in the matter this time. I guess in hindsight it was the perfect pairing. That’s quite attractive! They sure knew how to draw a great looking racecar in late '66 Nice Jeff. I'm looking forward to adding this one too. I would be surprised if you would not be getting one.

2 cars this year so far and they are both red. Next thing you know, dogs will be living in the same houses as cats! Anytime I can get a Premium X for cheap IXO money and free shipping, I am going take a look at what is available. Seeing all the Corvettes being shown here lately has made me want to beef up my meager collection of them. One thing I have noticed over the years, the C2 Vette must be a very hard shape to model to scale. Most makers seems to stumble on the shape and this is no exception but it is far from terrible and better than a number of them. The paint is nice as is the trim and it fills a hole for a nice price. #2 Premium X 1964 Corvette.

Nice rendition of the '64 Jeff. I have the IXO '63, fun to spot the differences in the 2 cars! I am with you on the limited buys...however, I bought a 1:43 this morning too, it was a splurge, but something I see about once a year and at a relatively fair price, so it seemed a 'need' rather than a 'want'. HINT? It has 6 wheels

Great minds think alike Jeff, this was one I couldn't resist either. I like it a lot, it doesn't look out of place next to the excellent Spark cabriolet.

New Forum site..... new Jeff? A case of red is the new blue?
This is my favourite era of Corvette so I heartedly approve of the colour choice.
